BURGESS BEDTIME STORIES - By THORNTON W. BURGESS. - Familiar things, ’tie very queer. Cannot for long Inspire fear. —Old Mother Nature. Curious Though Timid. For several days that man-bird re trained on the Green Meadows near Farmer Brown's cornfield. Not once did It bo up In the air. The aviator came down to It every day. and usu ally Farmer Brown's Boy came with him. They worked on the machine, and of course all the little people who saw them were very curious. Now when you see a thing long enough you become used to It, and If you have been afraid of It you little by little lose that fear. It was this way with Nanny Meadow Mouse. As she grew less afraid of It she grew more curious about It. Finally she ventured to go over near It In the night with Danny Meadow Mouse. But she wouldn't climb up In It. She even tried to stop Danny from climb ing up In It. But Danny had no fear of It, and in spile of all she could do he did climb up in it. When he came down again he brought her some de licious food, and he told her that there was plchty more up there If she would only come and get It. You see that aviator hadn't forgotten his little friend. He felt sure th»t Danny would return to the airplane, and bo he always left food there, Danny told Nanny all about the In side of that man-bird, and Nanny grew more and more curious. She Just ached to go with Danny and see It. Rut she was too timid. She Just couldn't trust herself In that man THE NEBBS— CLEAR 'AND CONCISE.

Kven In the daytime she would steal over where she could look at the great man-bird and think about all the wonderful things that Danny had told her of his Journey In it. Danny came and went as he pleased. He had no fear at all. He was getting fat with the good living which he didn't have to work for. But do what he would he couldn’t get Nanny to come up Inside with him. Not even curiosity and the desire for good things to eat could overcome Nanny's tlmldness.

Even though he had been brought back, ahe couldn’t bring her self to trust that man-bird. Now all this time the aviator had been keeping a sharp watch. He knew', of course, that Danny had been making daily visits to that airplane. He knew it because the food kept disappearing. Once or twice he caught a glimpse of Danny scamper ing along one of his private little paths in the grass. Then one day he spied Nanny peeping out at him from a little clump of grass. He knew it wasn't Danny because Danny had Just disappeared in another direction. That afternoon when he left, the aviator left some food on the ground under that airplane. That night Nanny had a feast. After that she looked for food there every day after the avaitor and Farmer Brown's Boy had left, and never was she disap I>ofnted. She, too. began to grow fat.
